1995 GMC Jimmy 4 Dr SLE 4WD Wagon
Review
Bought this car to have 4x4 for NJ snow. Along with it I had to replace muffler, tires, engine, altinator, muffler, catalic converter, some diaphram thing for the brakes, don't even try to replace the spark plugs on this took me 2 days, waterpump, fuelpump, 4x4 switch. I think I have done enough work and replaced enough of this to build a new car. CAVEAT EMPTOR!
Favorite Features
Not owning one.
Suggested Improvements
Blow the car up, start from scratch.

1995 GMC Jimmy 4 Dr SLS Wagon
Review
The Jimmy runs and idles smoothly. When in a fender-bender, the Jimmy was driven away with nothing more than a bent exhaust pipe and a dent and scratch about three inches in diameter on its back bumper while the other vehicle was basically totaled; the owner was not able to drive away. The only real problems Ive ever had were that the microchip which controls things like the windshield wipers burns out rather easily, and the transmission recently had to be replaced completely.
Favorite Features
Fun to drive, nice style, comfortable, smooth ride...good for long trips because of size, etc.
Suggested Improvements
Mechanical parts could probably stand having increased durability and make.

1995 GMC Jimmy 4 Dr SLT 4WD Wagon
Review
I purchased this vehicle used with approx 85K miles on it in 5/01 in VG cond. Since the purchase I have replaced only normal maintanence items such as tires, brakes, muffler; which the vehicle needed when purchased anyways. Overall the vehicle has been very dependable and has needed nothing replaced other than the previous mentioned items even with 127K miles on it!
Favorite Features
It was the exterior styling and versatility of the vehicle that first attracted me to it. The 195 hp Vortec engine is pretty peppy and provides the exceleration needed for merging into traffic and highway driving.
Suggested Improvements
Improve the AC. The AC is weak in this vehicle in temperatures above 90 deg ferenhiet. I noticed the engine will almost overheat and the AC starts to wimp out. The steering could be more nimble, as there is allot of oversteer due to a heavy curb weight when cornering.

After our first purchase of a GMC product, we will NEVER AGAIN purchase a GMC auto. This has been the WORST auto ever for us. Many recalls on it.

1995 GMC Jimmy 4 Dr SLT Wagon
Review
It's a 4dr, 2wd, SL SUV. Bought this SUV in 96 iwth 30K on it. Now have 225K on it. Rides rough on long trips (slight frontend shimmy) and otherwise I can't say anything bad about it. In all those miles, with very few exceptions, I get in start it up and drive. Handles well in traffic, handles well on forestry service roads. Never dreamed it would last this long and still going strong.
Favorite Features
digital compass, gauges, cargo ease, reliable
Suggested Improvements
fix the shimmy. Make the seats more cushy.

Review
Some rattles, the doors move in their openings, fuel efficiency is dropping fairly from 7.88 kilometers per liter when bought to 6.54 kpl today. A/C repair was costly and the compressor is still making noices. Right turn signal gets stuck. The under carriage is not protected and vital components are low.
Favorite Features
Very powerful engine. Easy to drive but not an agile car when driven fast. 4 X 4 low reduction allows slow downhill driving. I like riding high in the road. Good view of the road. It is comfortable for trips of 8 hours.
Suggested Improvements
Fuel efficiency improvement is a must. The locking torque converter should work faster and sustain higher gears farther in hilly terrain.
A true lemon

Lucky me I took out extended warranty on this vehicle. Except for the transmission and front end almost this whole vehicle has been replaced. Just recently a hose disconnected leading from the oil pan to the cooler, emptying the engine oil in 45 seconds ruining the engine!!! What a poor design, and a huge repair bil. AVOID THIS VEHICLE!!!
Favorite Features
Confortable, with plenty of power.
Suggested Improvements
Total redesign!!!

1995 GMC Jimmy 4 Dr SLE 4WD Wagon
Review
This was the worse vehicle I ever had in my life. To start with it had like four recalls on it. The transmission went out twice. Both times over 1500 dollars!! One time with just over 60,000 miles on it and GM would pay a penny towards it! The power brake booster also went out, that was another 500 that GM cost me. The motor that shifts the truck into four wheel drive went out too, that was another 550 that that GM touch. The fuel injector leak gas into the motor. That was another 900.00 to replace. This are just the major problems that I had with the truck. Please save your money DON'T buy GM vehicles!!!
Favorite Features
The look of the truck

Just about everthing that makes it run and GM's service!!

Review
Fuel injector poppets $600 repair at 60K miles, Fuel Pump, A/C compressor x2, power door locks, $200 EGR valve x2, Transmission dump at 110k, never towed anything, perfect oil change schedule, good regular maintenance schedule. This vehicle has inherent problems not due to owner abuse! BUYER BEWARE!
Favorite Features
Roomy, good feel.
Suggested Improvements
Cheaper parts for common problems. Not reliable.
